Volkswagen Golf GTI MK7 Tire Review Highlights
Just had them fitted, replacing SportContact 7. Really like the steering and the grip seems endless. Will update with wear soon but so far so good.

The best UHP winter tires I ever had. Excellent handling, you really feel these are UHP tires, not just winter tires. Initially they were noisy, but improved a lot. Beautiful design, the biggest rim protector. Wear is bad, after 30 000 kms just above the wear indicator (TWI). But it worths, I recently purchased a new set of Sottozero 3 (A01) for my new car.

Pretty good dry grip, even better wet grip. Wear is reasonable considerigng it's an UHP terry, but it is expected from Michelin anyhow. I've been using PS4 earlier which I found a bit better than these PS5. There is an annoying noise at about 100 km/h. At the end of the day I like these tires. I am using them for the 2nd season.
(On my other car I am using Falken Azenis FK520, and those are not much inferior to these Michelins.)

I really like the ECS02. Feels very similar to the Pilot Sport 4S so perhaps not the sportiest of sports tires but has endless grip and good comfort. Plenty cheaper than the Michelin too and has the same warranty.

Solid studded tire, not super noisy, very good on snow and seems as good as anything else on ice. Obviously it's not designed for handling but it's a nice driving tire for a studded tire. Highly recommended.

I have recently bought a 2016 Golf GTi which came with these fitted and they are not far off new. In the dry and warm the grip is excellent, you can really lean on them and feedback is good. They are also acceptably quiet and comfortable. However they are lacking in the wet. Damp cold conditions reveals particularly poor traction and grip. They are ok in warmer wet conditions but don't cope particularly well with standing water. Overall an acceptably good tire if you live in a warmer climate but it hasn't got a balanced range of abilities like a newer Michelin or Goodyear equivalent.

These came with a Golf GTI I bought from a non main dealer, suspect the dealer put them on there just to be able to sell the car. Oh my god, I have never experienced such a bad set of tires. Even under very little throttle input the tires would spin in the dry. Thankfully I didn't get to experience these tires in the wet properly and I suspect these would be just dangerous. Avoid these and get a better brand.

Good outright grip and reasonably quiet for a tire in this class. Feels a bit mushy in the turn in and lateral handling compared to the previous version AS3+ which had more direct feel. Has a bit better ride than the AS3+ did, but in my opinion its not better enough to justify the decrease in steering feel and cornering grip. To be honest, I prefer the previous version and its "on rails" feel vs this new version that has more of a typical comfort oriented mix. I have a 2017 VW Golf GTI SE.

Without rotation I will get 16000 to 18000 km at the front. With rotation 30000km with a set of 4.
Dry grip very good. Wet grip good.

Awesome in the dry, loads of grip and good handling, pretty good in the wet too though don't like cold english mornings. DO NOT RUN THEM ON TRACK. They melt. I ruined the right front in about 15 laps. Ergo I won't be buying again. Normally tires last me a few trackdays.

Very good in the wet, hugely comfortable for the sector, seem to be wearing ok, but they're not as good handling as the Goodyears I had before.
